‘I would give all my money to be fit’

Marco Reus said he would give away all the money he earned in order to remain fit. Reus has expressed emotional impact of his latest injury and reveals he wants to get back to Football regularly.

“The tears came again two or three days later when I went through it again in my mind,” he told GQ when asked about the injury he sustained in the DFB-Pokal final win.

“To be alone, working your way back is the most demanding part. I was really fed up after three weeks. It’s a brutal mental test because you always have to work on your own.

“As top players, we earn a lot of money, but sometimes we pay a hefty price with our health. I would give away all the money to be healthy again, to be able to do my job. To do what I love: to play football.”

He said: “There are four or five international clubs who interest me. On May 31, 2019, I will turn 30. That would be my last big contract and a final opportunity to try something different.
